Summary

At the request of Dr. Burdette, the board approved a $0.50 hourly raise for EDP paraprofessionals, citing the high intensity of certain special‑education classrooms and the need to retain trained staff.

Dr. Burdette (introduced by name) requested a $0.50 per hour increase for EDP paraprofessionals, saying the work involves higher frequency use of specialized behavioral strategies, occasional physical restraint and otherwise intensive supports that warrant higher pay to improve retention and reduce turnover.

A board member moved to approve the pay increase as an action item. The motion was seconded and the board approved the increase by voice vote. No detailed roll call or a precise effective date was recorded in the transcript beyond the motion’s approval; staff indicated the increase is intended to support staffing stability in intensive classrooms.

Human resources and payroll were asked to implement the change as directed and confirm effective dates and budget coding for the next pay cycle.
